BARA – The British Automation and Robot Association provides a voice for the Robot and Automation Industries, when dealing with government, industry, financial and academic institutions.

The aim of BARA is to promote the use of, and assist in the development of Automation in British industry. In 2009 BARA joined forces with the PPMA (Processing & Packaging Machinery Association) and has gathered more influence, members and provides more support to the end-user community. With the PPMA, BARA speaks with a truly representative industry voice. The BARA council that meets periodically provides strategic direction to the Association.

BARA members are widely represented at the Annual PPMA Show which actively demonstrates how automation and robots can provide solutions to UK manufacturing. See www.ppmashow.co.uk.

BARA is part of the PPMA Group of four Trade Associations, the principal objective being simply “To help members sell more products and services” See www.Bara.org.uk
